parts.lexus.com currently has free shipping -- what spare parts do you guys usually have on hand for long trips?

[Arch Stanton]

First, I noticed that Shop Lexus Parts and Accessories Online - https://parts.lexus.com currently has free shipping for all orders over $75 which seems like a good deal.

Second, coming from the high-mileage Volvo world, I have a habit of carrying spare parts on long trips (2000+ miles), because the worst thing is to have an ignition coil fail on you in a rural area & you have to re-plan your trip around obtaining a part that isn't stocked locally.

Here's what I generally had on hand for my Volvo alongside a barebones toolkit with all the necessary sockets, wrenches, ratchets, allen keys, Torx bits, jumper cables, JB weld, super glue, high-vis vest, traffic cones, tire repair kit, OBD-II reader, etc:

• 1 spare ignition coil
• spare spark plug(s)
• spare MAF
• spare fuel filter
• essential auxiliary belts / tensioners
• quart of appropriate oil (always)
• gallon of appropriate coolant

Is there anything else you guys would suggest I keep in the car for long road trips?

I figure this current deal on parts.lexus.com is a good time to stock up on spare.

Fuses, light bulbs? Although you can get those anywhere.

I've had good luck with this place and while no free shipping... anything not oversized like a hitch gets 50% off shipping with

code GXORFIFTYOFF23

You just can't expect next day Amazon delivery. They don't charge sales tax either.

Bell Lexus has good deals as well.
